When Communism Moved Into The Classroom

[PoliticalChic]

Al Capp was a satirist who frequently took hits from both liberals and conservatives. That he may have hung out with Nixon means little since Nixon arguably one of the most liberal Republican presidents we've ever seen. His political barbs certainly took a right slant in the 60's, no doubt about that. But, I wonder how much of that was politics and how much was simply the fact that the hippies gave him so much to make fun of. MAD magazine made a lot of fun of them too. It doesn't make it a conservative magazine, any more than Matt Stone and Trey Parker making fun of liberals makes South Park a conservative show.

Capp did not hate liberals, he hated certain types of liberals, as evidenced in his defense of lampooning student protest groups like SDS:

"The students I blast are not the dissenters, but the destroyers—the less than 4% who lock up deans in washrooms, who burn manuscripts of unpublished books, who make combination pigpens and playpens of their universities. The remaining 96% detest them as heartily as I do."

While the great Mr. Capp certainly took a right turn in the 60's, I would say that before then anybody would have been hard-pressed to place him anywhere in specific.

The man was a genius by any measure.

Did you read "The Schmoo"???


Was that the best rip of socialism evah????

I love The Schmoo. It turns out there were conservatives who gave him a hard time thinking it was making fun of capitalism.

There may be fewer stupid conservative than there are stupid liberals, but they're out there.

Capitalism????

You must have missed post #64.

This gets confusing. Is America a fascist or communist country? Is it possible to be both a communist and fascist nation? Do the people get to vote for the one they want? Still if we get to vote then are we a Democratic, fascist, communist nation?

According to some on the right, FDR was a Communist and a Nazi.

You might be interested in Dunn's explanation, FDR subscribed to 'convergence' theory.

Well, that's one man's opinion.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Destiny is determined by honor. Who we honor or fail to honor determines our destiny. Individually and as a nation.

This nation fails to honor it's military heroes while honoring the likes of Mao, Stalin, Marx and Vladimir Putin both in the classroom and on the cover of Time magazine.

Guess what kind of destiny is in store for America over that wrong decision?

There is no shortage of honoring military heroes, unless you mean they should be paraded and fawned over 365 days a year. I am a veteran, but I've never felt any shortage of being honored. If any of my fellow veterans do I suggest they are being crybabies. I have been honored and celebrated more than I ever asked for or expected for my service, not to mention having a BS and an MBA that was paid for entirely in return for that service. What more honoring do I need?

You are sadly mistaken. This nation has elected a president not once but twice - who has been nothing short of a disgrace in his behavior and attitude towards our veterans. I'm really not interested in your BS or your MBA as you have obviously drank the Saul Alinsky kool aid with the rest of the students who were too weak to challenge their marxist professors. They end up sounding like you. I'm glad I missed out. - Jeri

But isn't this one of the complaints about Obama he gives entitlements, food stamps and all sorts of goodies to people for their vote? If he gave veterans would Obama not be accused of helping veterans for their votes?

1. The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.” Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.



2. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51



3. “[The radicals] did not go away or change their minds; the New Left shattered into a multitude of single-issue groups. We now have, to name a few, radical feminists, black extremists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, activist homosexual organizations, multiculturalists, organizations such as People for the American Way, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), the National Organization for Women (NOW), and Planned Parenthood.” Ibid p. 53

So PC, if you conservatives hate communists so much, why do conservatives shill for major corporations that relocate major industries to communist china for profit? Anyone suggests raising their tax rates and your party goes ballistic. How about an answer that's not copied and pasted in your usual style? Also an answer other than "you're a moron" or some such PC response please.

No, friend Free-of-any-intellect, here's a piece of advice, which, if given early enough, might have kept you in school beyond third grade....

Rather than change the subject, focus like a laser, and attack, confront, rebut, the actual material in the OP.

Possible?

Didn't think so.



You are exactly what Coulter had in mind when she wrote this:

"Let me give you a little tip: if you want liberalism to continue in this country, you have to realize that liberal students are being let down by their professors! They have liberal school teachers, and read the liberal press! Because of this weak preparation, they are unable to argue, to think beyond the first knee-jerk impulse. They can’t put together a logical thought. Now, compare that to a college Republican…"

I figured you weren't capable of answering a question on your own and you proved me right. You have to quote Ann Coulter instead. That seems to be your impulse.

What percentage of the population believes that material equality of all people is an enviable desire, to be accomplished by government?

What percentage of the population believes that the Constitution should be enforced as the law of the land?

If Marxism begins in elementary school and is carried on through all the grades, surely most of the country is Marxist. But then has any nation practiced Marxism? So what happens to all that Marxist learning?

Honoring sissyboy draftdodgers like Bush or Ted Nugent just because they talk tough shows a pretty pathetic, slavish, and fantasizing nation.

You had all the fight taken out of you. They would honor us if they had a Wall for the Chickenhawks who paid the ultimate price for their treason. You're just parroting what those ungrateful parasites told you to mumble.

Here's another man's opinion, though I am not a scribbling prostitute for the ruling class like Dunn:
Communism is state capitalism. Capitalism is communism for the rich. Both are absentee owners who do no work except for telling other people to make them rich.

not to mention having a BS and an MBA that was paid for

"Have obviously drunk." The conceit of some people, attacking education while at the same time proving that their own education was a fraud.

The greatest insult to our veterans is that we've had draftdodging traitors in the White House for 24 years: Quayle, Clinton, Bush, Cheney, and Biden. Because of this original sin unatoned for, the people running the VA are snobs who think veterans are losers who were too dumb or lazy to go to college after high school.

By the way, Jimmy Carter was also a draftdodger. And JFK would have been if, after his brother was killed, his Daddy hadn't told him he had to run for office and that the American people at that time would never vote for a spoiled brat whose Daddy's Money got him out of combat.

"Fewer People With Health Insurance." Every time you Diploma Dumbos come on here yapping about education, I will show that you were too stupid and lazy to acquire any lasting knowledge yourself when you were in school. Let's confine this discussion to people who are truly educated. Student is an anagram of the word stunted.

Yes, I think it is too late. The leftists have complete and total control of the government schools. They have effectively brainwashed millions of Americans with left wing tripe. How else could Leftism survive when it is apparent to anyone capable of effective reasoning and logical thinking, that it is totally ineffective and terribly harmful.

And regarding your post, I wonder if that old fool FDR had lived, would Kravchenko have received asylum.

When one researches (as you no doubt have) the Left's admiration and infatuation with Stalin (and so many other leftist dictators), the lengths they went to to cover up his crimes, condemn those who told the truth, their many traitorous actions, and the enormous number of lies they told....it boggles the mind that anyone would ever believe anything said by a leftist.

The Left has done so much damage to this country.

It was the leftists and their Constitution that did it. I mean all those liberal ideas floating around in that liberal age of enlightenment. Our framers unable to resist all that liberalism, so they end up putting bits and pieces of liberalism into the Constitution. I blame Locke, Madison and a whole bunch of those so called founding fathers, but mostly I blame Jefferson for his super-duper liberal Declaration of Independence.

Sorry....doesn't work.

There's no humor in the destruction wrought by the Left.


Under Wilson, the US became the first fascist nation.

Under FDR, communism was accepted by folks like you.

So sad.

So is the US now a communist nation?

I'm still researching your post regarding Reagan's career as a spy, can't seem to find much. Reagan's spy career was an answer to my question based on Marxism being taught in our schools. That question was, if Marxism is taught in our schools what percentage of American are Marxists today? Now we're off to FDR and Syria. Was FDR a spy too? In Syria?
In any case let me try one more time, if Marxism is taught in our schools, what percentage of our population are Marxists today as a result of this teaching?
